i think the Argentines will become complacent. You expect a shut out but then again, you got a tired USA squad who will want to try and score one goal or they could just put all their men on defense. Lets face it the Argentine's attack is just so stacked that a 3-0 will be a little forgiving. I think the US will score at least 1 goal in this game to help things out.
Its actually a good bet...... I'll tell you why IMO.......
Argentine during Basiles 2nd era as de Coach has had problems because of the humongous ammount of players of great level available to come up with a team of 23........
You have the case of J.Santana who had to become (Paragauayan) to play for a national team, G.Franco playing world cup with Mexico, etc.
So Having so much great Attacking Midfielders such as Aimar, Riquelme Cambiasso, Gago, D'alessandro, And having others that can be easily played as CAM, such as messi, tevez and Aguero, is not easy at all...........
eyeing the possible formation for the match vs the US you will sureley find something like this:
Scheme: 4-4-2
Abbondanzieri
Heinze - Milito - Ayala - Ibarra
Cambiasso - Gago- Mascherano - Riquelme
Messi/Tevez - Crespo
When you see this players you shiver dont you? however knowing the USA and knowing they are used to play without the ball and have a couple of winning plays (which they execute Impressively well) at least a goal can be scored with quick Attackers like beasley and Donovan (Ching's too clumpsey).... i say these because Nor Cambiasso, nor Gago, nor Riquelme defend at all......... Mascherano if he is cationed early by the referee...... Argentine's going to have a tougher time than everyone expects......
That game thay played at Camp Nou which ended in a 4-3 or something like that is more or less what may happen...
Just came back from Argentine a couple of weeks ago, and thats the only flaw people see in their team....... More or less what happened early on with Boca having a slow start in the Copa Libertadores, where they played with Riquelme, Banega, Cardozo and Datolo........ None but Banega defends, he got book early at Toluca....... they lost....... then came Ledesma and Battaglia who defend far much more, and then you have a Boca Jrs who accepted 2 goals as the most..............
Over looks good there
